Yay!
Ahhh... i think I'll work on a map... Anything that needs to be on the map, umm... showbuilding wise?
BTW- I think Fire Mountain should be about the size of the Matterhorn Bobsleds in Disneyland height wise. Do you think its a good size or bigger? Here's a picture

I'm not sure... it's important that it's viewable from pretty much all around the park (especially from the hub)...
But you can try to do a map. Just keep in mind that others might want to do so as well (I might too), so there will be some different versions... then we can all see which is best

Just did a quick drawing of how I could imagine the Tarzan Jungle Swing...
Keep in mind my still rather poor drawing skills, as for example the tree should look a lot more exotic jungl-ish

Just so you know, the tree itself won't spin, but the lians (sp?) are attached to a spinning device kept well hidden under the leafs...
The carriages can carry two persons and I think there should be around 8 carriages... perhaps 10... depends on the final size of the tree...

List looks good. I will scan that concept art I made for Fire Mountain in a little bit and post a link. I hope you will like it. Nexus, the swing drawing you made looks great! However, I was thinking that it should only seat 1 person per seat and there be like 24 seats.

Heres my Fire Mountain concept peice. It didn't scan well, so I made it look "better" by adding some color in Photoshop. The Castle, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain are just for a reference point of where this is located.

Hmm, I don't think the waterfall is a good idea. At least I think it doesn't make sense to have water coming out from a burning hot mountain
And perhaps too many hills? I dunno, I was just personally imagining just a single volcano (a volcano often just sticks out alone above everything else)
Example:

Hey I made a doodle of the proposed Fire Mountain with a small waterfall (I figured it could be a "cooling" area for when riders get blasted out of the volcano)

stitchcastle is a really good artist! i love everything he has done.
Same here I agree with Stitch's version of Fire Mountain. ONly thing I wonder is that do you really think that you are going to see SM, SM, BTM, and FM from the hub???? In WDW and DL you cannot see BTM and SPLM because they are to far back and blocked by to many buildings and trees.

Exactly.
Let's look at some possible subtitles for Fire Mountain (Like Space Mountain-From Earth to the Moon and Space Mountain: Mission 2 and Expedition: EVEREST Legend of the Forbidden Mountain)
1. Fire Mountain: Revenge of the Emperor
2. Fire Mountain: Magma From the Deep (Umm...)
3. Fire Mountain: Volcano Adventure

NOOOOOO! THEY MUST BE SEEN FROM THE HUB! They are incorperated into Once Upon A Time and therefore must be seen from most of the park and most importantly the hub.
stitchcastle --> Looks awesome! Great work...
I'm just wondering if the bottom is too wide? As so we should make it more steep at the bottom as well? Just a thought...
wannabe walt --> You didn't like that type of volcano, when I talked to you, lol...
ImaginEAR --> Lets get a story first

the bottom should be wide, all the Disney mountains have wide bottoms if you're gonna put a ride in it, if you look at real volcanoes they all have wide bottoms, if you want it really tall we can make it look like the volcano from the incredibles.
